The Brussels Health Network

Introduction

Managed by the Brussels Association of Medical Telematics (abbreviated as Abrumet), the Brussels Health Network is used for the electronic and secure sharing of health data by and between health care providers, care institutions and patients. It interconnects all the hospitals and doctors in Brussels and is in turn connected with other health networks in the country.

The Brussels Health Network aims to improve the care processes through a better flow of information and better coordination by and between care providers who have immediate access to the relevant data of the patient they care for.

It also enables the patient to be involved in his or her healthcare by giving them access to their medical data also.

The Brussels Health Network cooperates with the (federal) e-Health platform and has developed with respect for the individuality of each partner and due concern for the maximum protection of the privacy of patients.
